Hi!

I'm back with the problem of returning types form ndarray subclasses, now with 
ravelling the array. I wrote the __array_wrap__ function like this:

def __array_wrap__(self, out_arr, context=None):
    arr = out_arr.view(np.ndarray)
    if arr.ndim == 0:
        arr = arr[()]
    return arr

I was convinced that now ufuncs wil return always numpy arrays. But now i 
discovered that for example:

a.ravel()   

returns still the subclass type, not ndarray type. Ravel method apparently 
does not call __array_wrap__ (whereas np.ravel(a) does!). Is there a 
systematic way to resolve this or i need to write new ravel method?
